St Wilfrid’s Hospice notes that on Friday November 29^th 2024 the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill passed its first vote in the House of Commons with 330 MPs voting in favour and 275 against.

As a local charity, St Wilfrid’s delivers high-quality palliative care services to those nearing the end of life, ensuring both patients and their loved ones receive the essential care they need. With its team of expert clinicians, St Wilfrid’s actively supports local people with terminal or life-limiting diagnoses, focusing on their wellbeing and quality of life. The Charity remains dedicated to providing compassionate palliative care in the final year of the patient’s life leading to their natural death. 

St Wilfrid’s recognises the complexity and sensitivity of the assisted dying issue and respects all opinions on the matter. The Charity will continue to provide the same level of care to all patients.

St Wilfrid’s will assess the impact of Friday’s vote and collaborate with governing bodies to understand its role in a potentially shifting legal landscape.
